Every year, a panel of BCPL staff members come together to read and discuss the hottest releases of the year. We chase down the most talked about and most raved about new releases, read them, and decide collectively if they're worth all the fuss. From this fun cooperative comes our "Best of the Year" Lists. Categorized as Young Readers, Middle Grade/Tween, YA/Teen, and Adult, these four lists gather the definitive books we think you shouldn't miss!
